In like a lion and out like a lamb, March is on the prowl – promising fresh blue skies, fields of nodding daffodils and warmer, brighter days to enjoy here in Northumberland.
March also brings Mother’s Day on the 30th, a moment to celebrate and cherish the mums, grandmas and mother figures in our lives. And when it comes to a Mother’s Day gift, flowers and chocolates are timeless classics, but time spent together is priceless.
This year, treat your mum (or mam here in the north east!) to something unique, a family break to the peaceful Northumbrian countryside. Whether you’re staying for Mother’s Day itself or looking forward to a celebratory spring mini-break, our stable suites offer a cosy bolthole for the whole family to get together, relax in style and enjoy everything our region has to offer. And, from beautiful bouquets and Champagne on arrival to elegant afternoon tea and blissful spa rituals – we have all of the luxury extras you need to make your mum feel special.
The 5 Star Treatment
A haven of calm, understated luxury, your stable suite is a home-from-home where every detail has been thought of and attended to – so all you have to do is relax and enjoy.
Give your mum the royal treatment from the moment she steps through the door with a personalised bouquet or hamper on arrival. From fresh local flowers to a chilled bottle of Laurent-Perrier or her favourite sweet treats, our Concierge Team will be happy to set up something special for your someone special.
Inside, original features, handmade kitchens and crackling stoves bring timeless country charm, while modern conveniences luxurious linens, marble roll-top baths and underfloor heating provide that 5 star feeling. With stable suites accommodating up to 8 and pet friendly options, gather the whole family for big days out and cosy evenings in – nestled in the peace and privacy of the Northumbrian countryside.
Time To Relax
Give your mum the gift of time – time dedicated to herself, to relax, unwind and step away from the stresses and demands of the everyday. A short journey from your stable suite, enjoy complimentary access to The Retreat spa sanctuary at Matfen Hall.
Set aside an afternoon to lounge poolside, wrapped in robes and watching sunlight dance on the pool as you contemplate a refreshing dip or a relaxing session in the sauna, aromatherapy steam room and thermal suite. Or, gift your mum an indulgent Germaine de Cappucini spa ritual, from an aromatic and warming Mediterranean Candle Massage to a Skin Zen Rose Facial – each treatment is individually tailored to nourish, mind, body and spirit.
An Afternoon of Decadence
A beloved and enduring tradition, Afternoon Tea is the quintessential Mother’s Day gift. And the Drawing Room at Matfen Hall offers the picture perfect location, complete with a grand fireplace, originally commissioned for Buckingham Palace. Just 11 miles from your suite, and with chauffeur services available, whisk your loved one away for an afternoon of well-earned decadence.
Tiers of seasonal savouries, fresh scones and intricately crafted patisserie invite you to slow down and savour each moment of this time spent together. Loose leaf Newby Teas and Cafe Du Monde coffee provide the perfect accompaniment, or opt for Lauren-Perrier Champagne for a touch of extra celebratory sparkle.
Days To Treasure
Chesters Stables is a true country hideaway. Set in the tranquil heart of England’s least populated county it offers an unparalleled sense of space and stillness and tranquility. Tucked away in the shadow of UNESCO world heritage site, Hadrian’s Wall, your stable suite is also perfectly situated to explore the very best of the north east. Escape to historic walking trails to stride in the footsteps of the Romans, breathe in the blossoms at Alnwick Garden or Howick Hall arboretum, enjoy a gentle afternoon in the cobbled streets and independent shops of nearby Corbridge and Hexham or take a trip to nearby Newcastle for theatre, shopping and vibrant culture.
However you spend your Mother’s Day Break, return each day to relax together at your own pace and in comfort, luxury and peace at your very own countryside home from home.
